Default Re: OT - Computer problems

Check advanced video properties to make sure you haven't turned off/ down the green part of the signal.

You probably need to take the monitor to a repair shop. I've seen this problem with a monitor not showing red. I've seen another system where the red would intermittantly go off, a 14 mile car trip fixed it and then broke it when we were bringing it back home. It's something to do with the electron gun (or some similar doohickey) and timings. It's fixable, but only by someone who knows.....
Getting it fixed will cost as much as a new monitor these days, so either way you get a monitor that works.
Of course, if wiggling the cable or hitting it really hard work, all the better.
